The team travels to Kentucky to investigate a piece of footage that seems to show the glowing eyes of a bigfoot. With locals reporting activity in Daniel Boone National Forest, the team tries a new search technique to see there really are bigfoots in KY.

I flew with a pilot years ago who saw a bigfoot when he was a little boy. It happened near Greensboro, NC on a farm. He said it was a huge, hulking upright walking creature who was covered in dark brown hair. He and his father hunted and he had been upclose and personal with bears so he was able to tell this was no bear. The creature walked across the farmland and just kept going. He said there was a horrific stench that he can remember to this day. He was a ways away from this creature but the smell hit him from that distance. He was still shaken just talking about it.

Even with quite rare animals, such as the Florida panther, one eventually gets hit be a car, or a carcass is found. This hasn’t happened with Bigfoot. If there are any Bigfoots, they aren’t in reasonably populated or traveled areas. There is no such thing as Bigfoot. Sorry.

Disclaimer: I am as big a fan of cryptozoology as anyone, and a big fan of Bernard Heuvelmanns. (On the Track of Unknown Animals is one of the most interesting books ever written.) I’m not saying that there aren’t some unusual things still out there someone, but simply that Bigfoot—at least in the lower 48 states—just isn’t one of them.

Living in Oregon my entire life and knowing thousands who have hunted and logged the woods yet never heard of anybody seeing one, it is a hoax. Perhaps they should try Central Park, you know there have been sightings there?

This show is such a fine demonstration of the progressive scientific method. Assume bigfoot exists until proven that it doesnt.

I don't watch much TV but my son was here last week and we watched "Turtleman- Pawn Stars - and several Bigfoot shows.

The Bigfoot show itself is a traveling hoax that just moves around from one part of the country to another. There is a certain fascination to it because you can see otherwise rational people telling some incredible stories.

If a big foot existed it would have been shot by a hunter, tracked down by dogs, killed by a grizzly bear, hit by a vehicle, died in the forest from natural causes or an accident,or got dementia and wandered into a town. So far, no body. And there won't be one.

Hmmm, after all these years; no carcass, no bones, no nothing. Well, I guess I shouldn't say nothing; we have loads of those stupid foot plaster casts, anecdotal stories up the wazoo, and conveniently shaky video footage.

Somewhere on the Internet I found a map of all reported Bigfoot sightings. One that interested me was nearby Washington D.C., so I clicked on the little flag to learn the story. It seems that sometime in the ‘60s a guard reported that Bigfoot approached one of the back gates to the Quantico Marine Base out of the Prince William Forrest. While that forrest is big enough to hide many things, I was more interested in what would possess a Marine guard to report seeing Bigfoot even if one did walk up to his gate, and, of course, what happened to him (not Bigfoot) afterward.

When I was a kid in the mid 50's there was an area of Chacahoula swamp we kids avoided like the plague. Farm workers wouldn't work the adjacent fields without being armed.What was seen every now and then by them was the complete Bigfoot description.Nobody down here had heard of Bigfoot or Sasquatch or what ever back then.

My grandfather (1899-1975) was a rancher in central-west Texas. There was a lot of Bigfoot talk in the mid-60’s. One day I asked him if he had ever heard of such a thing. In his usual matter-of-fact way he said (paraphrasing): “I haven’t seen anything like that in about 30 years. We called them Skunk Apes. They were hard to see, you would just barely catch sight of them running down a gulley or over a rise. But you could smell them for a long way, and the stink was something awful.”

That was the end of the conversation and I never asked about it again.

I think Matt Moneymaker could find evidence of Bigfoot in Times Square. I’ve talked to him once. He was trying to talk me into joining a Washington expedition, for the cost of $600, and so they could use my 12X20 tent. Said something about how he could almost guarantee an encounter if we struck out with his BFRO team. That’s where I told him in so much words to get lost. Guarantee an encounter? If it was that easy Bigfoot would have been found long ago. I have been hunting in Western Washington for most of my 50 years, and I could not guarantee you an encounter with a black tail deer, much less a Bigfoot. And how many more deer are there than Bigfeet?

The show is pretty much a joke among those who post on Bigfoot Forums. They are aware of Moneymakers shinanigans and over boated ego. And they are aware that you can spends days and days in the hottest BF spots in WA or OR, and come away with nothing. Yet bring an Animal Planet camera crew with you and bam, you have encounters the very first night.

I’m very offended by this thread. I am a bigfoot born and raised in Kentucky before I decided to leave the family tree and try to make it big in Hollywood. (You like Star Wars, right? Can we say CHEWBACCA!?) You guys are really racist towards my people, calling us stinky, calling us Nephilym, suggesting that we don’t even exist. Listen, just how many of you have ever starred in a movie or been married to America’s first black President?

Our accomplishments as a race should not be underestimated. We deserve respect.
